At Reasq, we like to offer an outlet to (ex-)europeans: to know how they think about certain themes. Young or old, serious themes or ridiculous ones. Today: Katerina Atwood, an 18 year old girl who's born in Europe and moved to New York when she was 9. This year, she decided to look back at the European countries...
GERMANY: Rich, funny, speaks three languages. She’s had a couple infamous tantrums that lead to the class splitting sides both times. Sporty and boyish. Good sense of humor, but if you mention those tantrums you’re going to get beaten up, regardless of how close you are with her.
FRANCE: Cutest Instagram girl. Tiny food portions at lunch but the best chef in the whole school. Pretty rich, best friends with Germany and Belgium. Very fashionable, can come across as bitchy or rude but that’s just her way. Everyone likes to boast about visiting her house since it’s so a e s t h e t i c and stylish.
BELGIUM: The third-wheeler. The one who, when a walkway is too thin for 3 people, is forced to walk behind. Not as good-looking as France or Germany, but cute in her own way. Plump and smiley, eats a lot of chocolate. Quite emotional too. Not the brightest lamp in the room, but, given a chance, is an amazing friend. Has a crush on Malta.
ITALY: Definitely the prettiest girl in the class. Very sharp and witty, loves food but, unlike France, freely shares her huge portions of spaghetti al pesto and pizza alla mozzarella. Fun, bubbly, seemingly good at everything. France pretends to like her but secretly is hugely jealous of her popularity, and she has two younger siblings Malta and Sicily. Loves designer handbags and shoes, and her family is very wealthy.
SPAIN: Italy’s best friend since birth, and, lately, boyfriend. Loves her to bits and despite his past of chopping-and-changing between Britain, Ireland and France, is loyal and would die (?) for her. Throws good parties and appreciates people like Malta. Good-looking and well-off.
BRITAIN: The guy who is generally droll and sarcastic. Witty yet very undecisive. Is quite good-looking but has scared all the girls off with his edgy self-deprecating humor, and is a bit of a lone-wolf. Not really connected to the others. France’s ex, and is rumored to be changing schools.
IRELAND: Freckled, redheaded partier. Best at dancing in the school, with a fiery temper to match his locks. Not really that well-off, but his honesty and rough kindness has led to him being invited to every single party ever. Secretly, he loves gardening and horses, and has his own garden full of vegetables. Like potatoes. Rough history with Britain, has gotten into numerous fights with him, and thinks he’s a bit of a dick. Pretty religious, and the feminist girls and guys don't really like him.
MALTA: Younger brother of Italy, older brother of Sicily. Openly gay. Hot and humble, one of the lesser-known people of the class, outshone by his older sister. Pretty funny and throws the best parties, which he invites all the popular girls and guys to in the hopes that he’ll become one of them. A dreamer.
SICILY: Dating some older guy outside of school. Pretty and bubbly. She’s a cheerleader, and a pretty basic girl. Popular within her friend group, but her sister Italy is far more famous within the school than her. Makes killer gelato.
GREECE: The hot girl who you’ll lend money to when she begs for it. Just accept it, you won’t be paid back - not in money, at least. Not really popular with the girls, but has a ton of guy ‘friends’. Funny and loves swimming, seafood and tzatziki.
SWITZERLAND: Very neutral. Sits in the middle of the class quietly writing in cursive and highlighting with her custom highlighter palette. Most likely to get a well-paying job studying law or something. Studious and kind, and best friends with Malta. Childhood friends with France and Germany. Belgian dislikes her, a lot.
RUSSIA: The man. Not merely ‘a’ man, the man. The man who works out twice an evening and once in the mornings, eight days a week. The man who beats up kids who even glance at him wrong. The man who’s a man, not a kid, because he’s been in the same grade for three years.
UKRAINE: Sits in the corner. Does drugs and constantly thinks deep things, like what she is exactly. Russian, or Ukrainian? Pretty cute, and Russia’s younger sister so nobody messes with her. Smart but doesn't try, and smokes in the bathrooms or behind the buildings.
AUSTRIA: The pretty but insecure girl who is secretly rich, and probably a model or actress. Keeps secrets well and only has a few, very good friends, like Hungary. Goes on exotic holidays each year, and has an Instagram with over 2million followers (which she tries to hide from her school).
HUNGARY: Girl who is always by her best friend’s side, aka Austria. Constantly comforting her about boyfriend drama, friend drama or just drama drama. Hates Serbia with a burning passion, and has a huge crush on Russia. Happy watching from the side and not playing, so to say.
SERBIA: The guy who’s had a rough childhood and is pretty aggressive to everyone. Friends-ish with Russia after Russia beat him up a couple times (it’s a guy thing). Hangs around Italy and France, flirting with them, despite Spain telling him to back off. Switzerland has a crush on him and he knows it, but doesn't want to hurt her so rejects her ..despite liking her back. Once tried to blackmail Austria into dating him, which didn't turn out too well. The popular people don't really like him, but they invite him to parties anyway since he brings good alcohol and drugs.
Then there’s the others, who try to stay out of the drama and just focus on school. Like Sweden, Finland, Poland…
